What are you thankful for?
We often hear that question being repeatedly asked during Thanksgiving Holiday. For me personally, Thanksgiving serves as a reminder for me not to take anything for granted. Not only tangible stuff but even intangible ones we ought to be grateful for, like quality moments with your loved ones, forgiveness, love, etc.
So, this past Thanksgiving weekend was a really fun one for me. Of course, like many other people in the US, I had a very nice dinner with my family and by that I meant both of my immediate and extended "family". So on Thursday my fam and I went to Thanksgiving service at church and like they always do year after year, we had a sumptuous meal set up at the end of the service.

So I went to the store at 10:45ish...now..you might think that's early enough, huh..well, you're wrong. By the time I got to there I was probably the 35th in line, and within 15 mins after there were probably already 40 more people in line behind me. craziness! So, long story short, turned out that store only had 40 cams to giveaway for the first 40 people/group in line with a wristband that they handed out (1 per person or family). With that being said, technically, I was supposed to get it. However, since a lot of people in line were there with friends and family and there was really no clear divider that separates one person/group from the next one, everyone got mixed up and there was no way to tell who's with who. Such a bad organization. So, at the end, I walked away with none. I was so upset not because I didn't get the cam, but more so because I basically wasted 1 1/4 hr. of my time for nothing. Oh well, lesson learned. Next time, get there earlier! lol.
All in all, it was a fun experience. I was due at work at 7am the next morning. Though my eyes were already resembling those of raccoon, I managed to survive 8 hrs of job..feeling grateful that I have one =)
